Menopause

Menopause is the natural occurrence in a woman’s life when her period stops, typically after the age of 45. Menopause happens because the ovaries stop the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone – both of which are necessary for becoming pregnant. While menopause is a naturally occurring process, it can often bring forth many unwanted side effects that are difficult to deal with. Conventional physicians are often quick to prescribe hormone replacement therapy to treat women’s menopause symptoms, but many women reject the risks associated with hormone replacement and seek relief from alternative sources.

Houston Health and Wellness offers an array of natural holistic treatments to help women cope through this change in their bodies and in their lives.
